I think I'm the only one "mentioning" it. Other's are basically saying the same thing.

ESPN introduced it. That's why I brought up ESPN. It may not be default but for the last 3 years I've been in an ESPN league like that and playoffs aren't exciting at all when the format is like that. There's nothing like winning and advancing. Not, win and see if you can keep the lead against the same team next week.

I'm not sure where you see that others are basically saying the same thing, but we can have a vote when the league fills if you would like that will address playoff structure and also payouts.

I can see from your responses, that you must not have lost a matchup in the playoffs when you clearly had the better team and had one guy on the other team come out of nowhere and beat you in the playoffs.
